    The layout was immensely pretty. Very much so.

    The banner, a little mysterious, but befitting to the story.

    While I'm not quite sure what the deal is - whether Thea (love that name btw) is pre-destined to meet a merman and fall in love, or a mermaid, or something along those lines - I think that the overall plot and tone of the story is interesting enough to keep the reader wanting more. I found no mistakes, no typos etc so that's a definite kudos to you.

    This was an interesting read. Good work!

    I really like the layout. The colors go well together and the banner is very beautiful. Also, the title sounds very interesting and the summary took me in right away.

    Possibly one of my favorite lines was the line The salty ocean water was like the Hansen family's blood; it coursed mightily through their veins. I think it's a beautiful comparison, brava!

    You can really tell how much the sea means to Thea's family. Although I do think she's going to end up marrying a fisherman ;) all in all, a great story. Good luck with it :)

    Brava! I'm sure you're not meaning to have this be a children's story, but I'm getting a Bridge to Terabithia vibe and I love it. You're going to make me cry, I know it and I welcome it.

    This is probably one of my favorite lines. I can see how much the sea and fishing means to the family and how passionate they are about the career. I love it. I'm subscribed.

    First, the layout. It's absolutely amazing. I love the color scheme and just.. The layout as a whole is great. It really makes me think of the ocean, fisherman, pirates.. But that's probably because I'm watching Pirates of the Caribbean :p
    The title kind of makes me think of a really little girl, but she's not, haha.
    The summary.. It's from a song, or a poem, right? If you came up with it off the top of your head.. That's great, haha.
    I really like your writing. It's so detailed and beautiful c: I didn't see any spelling or grammar mistakes, so good job :D

    You really have such beautiful writing. I couldn't find a single mistake. They layout fits along with the story perfectly too.

    “I will never marry a fisherman,” she spoke truthfully, noticing her mother’s looks. Thea had promised herself she would not. It was not worth the hurt one would have to endure.
    Just reading that little part right there makes me think she's going to end up marrying a fisherman. I could be wrong, but it just seems...so likely. Especially with her attitude towards the fisherman life.

    Sort of unrelated, but I love the name Thea. It's unique, but not crazy out there.
    You've done a wonderful job so far with this story.
